These have been worn less than 4-5 times, and remain in fantastic shape. Unfortunately, they're a tad large for me and with my work now...

Thank you all (Patrick, Trav & DW) for the input on my situation. I understand there's a lot of options in leather repair/care and hearing all the different options possible is quite intriguing.
To be more specific with my goal, the bag has to look uniform in color, as it's a handmade gift. Luckily I do have a lot of leather samples I can attempt these treatments on first before touching the bag.
The options so far:

If someone didn't bring up the idea of adding more rubber to the soles, I would've had to regretfully passed.
What I'd love to buy for next round would be a Plum, or Forest Green shell, or maybe a black...
